08-13-2010 5:48 PM -- By: Phil, Critters.com memorial: Inky Memorial I just wanted to thank all of you for your support. Losing my little feline pal has been a rough experience. Knowing that there are other folks out there that feel something similar towards their pets has been very helpful.

08-13-2010 1:35 AM -- By: Maryann, Critters.com memorial: Sir Toby Memorial It is never easy getting over a loved one. Time heals. I understand what all of you are feeling. Maybe in time, you can give your love to another little one that may be in need. It would make your lost loved one very proud. They want you to share your love and not grieve. You gave them the best life.
08-13-2010 1:30 AM -- By: MaryAnn, Critters.com memorial: Sir Toby Memorial My heart goes out to all of you. I understand the emptiness you feel after losing a pet. Especially, if you had the animal for a long time. Their undying loyalty never leaves us even after they are gone. In time, the pain and emptiness will pass but there will always be that hole in your heart even when another animal is adopted. You never forget them. They won't let you. Just remember that they are waiting for us on the other side. All you can do is let them know that they were loved.
Please Sir Toby a message on his memorial. Thank you!

08-12-2010 6:41 PM -- By: Bailey, Critters.com memorial: Zoe May Memorial I want to thank everyone here that sent me well wishes! It helps to know that I am not alone in how I feel losing my beloved furry family member. Zoe May has been with me through my divorce, my raising of my children, my good times and my bad times - she went through it all with me! I have truly lost my better half and that is what makes this so unbearable! Thank you all for your wonderful blessings to me - Zoe was VERY special to me as your fur babies were to you - THANK YOU ALL!!! Bailey
08-11-2010 1:08 PM -- By: Sherri, Critters.com memorial: MADDIE Memorial Hi! everyone,
I do NOT post much these days on Critters, but the people I did become good friend's with through Critters in the loss of my little Canine daughter,Maddie, will forever be in my heart.
I did want to say that respecting other peoples property, such as a home, a car, an item, OR a memorial IS a very important thing......BUT what IS MORE important is respecting the feelings of A PERSON. Sometimes HURT feelings can NEVER be repaired and the loss of a friend OR a 'potential friend' is a big thing, for HOW many 'friends' will we have in life? Even WITH the VAST internet and ALL kinds of 'social networking'-HOW many can we actually call 'friend'? HOW many GIVE us 'something',(a gift, a chat, etc.) straight from the heart? Maybe we do NOT always agree on WHAT was said in the 'chat' or 'the gift' that was given,or the message on a card ...In THAT particular instance-- privacy(so rare in these internet day's ) is a MUST.
Life is SO short , as our little baby, fur angels have shown us. We have come here in sadness,why be here NOW in 'Madness'(anger), let us stay on this special site that **Sharon & Mark have given us-- for friendship-the REAL & lasting kind.
I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer, albeit a HOT one for most folks!
Thank you for your time,
Sherri, ALWAYS Maddie's mom

08-02-2010 7:25 PM -- By: Bailey, Critters.com memorial: Zoe May Memorial It's been just too long since my beautiful Zoe May died in my arms. I still can't believe that I had a heart attack 1 week later from losing her. She would not want me at RB anytime soon!
08-02-2010 11:49 AM -- By: LAURA, Critters.com memorial: Bullet Memorial Its been 6 weeks and I still cry like its the first day, in my lifetime I have had over 20 pets pass but I have never felt the emptiness as I do with Bullet, when my 43 year old pony died last Oct. After having him for 33 years, that took about a week for me to be ok with the loss, but I still didn't have the emptiness like now, my love for Bullet was so strong my heart stayed whole no matter what happened while he was with me, my love is stronger and I was closer to him then with my family or friends, when I was at work I couldn't wait to get home to him, now, its like, why bother since he isn't there, I feel I'm being punished, my love for him was to strong so he was taken from me, I told him I would protect him with my life but that tragic morning I didn't, I have never felt in this much pain ever, I feel I'm going to suffer for the rest of my life, I feel alone even with my other animals, I see my dogs and that's what I see, my dogs, I looked at Bullet and I saw my life, when he slept I would lay my hand on him , now I lay my hand on his ashes but its not the same, he is gone and I feel like my soul is gone,

07-21-2010 8:07 PM -- By: linda, Critters.com memorial: Bailey Memorial Hello all,
It 's been a while since I have been on here. I would like to thank those who have posted messages on Bailey's page, they are appreciated. Bailey's third angelversary date is coming in August, I can't believe it is almost three years since he passed!! Although time goes by fast and the pain lessens, the memories are still there. I was looking through his page tonite, and the tears started falling. My daughters and I will always miss him. I hope all of you are well and for the new losses, my sincere condolences. Hang in there and cherish the memories.
07-21-2010 7:42 PM -- By: Laura, Critters.com memorial: Bullet Memorial
I am so glad I found this site, thank you for visiting Bullets page, he died 1 month ago today, it is still so very hard, im still crying everyday and I have been looking at his page over and over and still in shock that he is gone, he was only 4 and a half. When he left, my soul left with him, I feel so empty and alone, my other pets try to comfort me and I care for them alot but the connection and bond with Bullet makes it hurt more that they are not him, my life will never be the same.
07-20-2010 6:28 PM -- By: caren, Critters.com memorial: Gypsy Rose Memorial Again, i would like to thank those that send those wonderful poems, they mean alot.

07-18-2010 1:15 PM -- By: pat and tippy, Critters.com memorial: fayeroe Memorial Fayeroe has a new page titled "Fayeroe's Favorite Things". If you're cruising around today we would love for you to look at it. So many friends have made beautiful photos of Faye and I have them on this page. I apologize now if I've left one out. I think at times my brain is older than I am. :-)
The heat here in Texas is almost unbearable this weekend. If it is hot where you live, be careful and don't get too much sun.
Thanks to everyone who prayed for Connie. We are greatly relieved that she is okay. Take care, Pat, Fayeroe and Mr. Tip

07-09-2010 12:22 PM -- By: , Pet's name: Dear Critter friends. My dear Pearl Ann passed away on 5/5/10, That day I was taking my son, Ethan to baseball practice. Ethan said, " Mom Pearl is at the Pine trees". I said back to him, "She won't go in the road honey". I thought Ethan was talking about our pine trees by our driveway, actually, he was talking of the pines next to our inlaws up the hill. I didn't look. I got a new black lab female about 2 weeks ago. I'm having extreme anxiety and guilt. I keep thinking, if I just would have turned my head, Pearl would be here today. I know I shouldn't blame myself, that's easier said than done. The Serenity Prayer has helped, but I'm looking for some advice. I think I got the new girl to soon, but didn't realize I would be feeling like this. Thanks for your time, Kelly
